Group Policy processing
Evaluating Group Policy requirements may identify some settings that are common for objects in the entire domain. But at the same time, some settings may be unique to specific departments or groups. Any Group Policy that is applied at the root level will be inherited by other organization units by default. Therefore, organization units can have inherited group policies as well as directly linked group policies.
If multiple group policies are applying to an organization unit, in which order will it be processed? Will it prevent the processing of any Group Policy? If the same setting is applied to different policies, which one will be applied? To answer all of these questions, it's important to understand how Group Policy processing works.
There are two main types of policies in the Active Directory environment:
- Local policies: Windows systems are supported to set up local security policies. These policies are different from domain GPOs...
